Another reality TV project for the apparently not-so-happy couple

At this point it almost seems inevitable, but all is not reportedly well between the Bachelor franchise's latest pair of star-crossed reality TV lovers: Juan Pablo Galavis and Nikki Ferrell have signed up for a couples therapy course. A televised one, that is. They'll appear on the new season of VH1's Couples Therapy as part of a lineup full of former reality show participants. (At this point, the genre is self-populating, basically). Galavis and Ferrell were not mentioned in the show's first batch of press releases, however — apparently because Galavis is still under contract with ABC. E! News notes the couple were also spotted with Jim and Elizabeth Carroll, the counselors behind WE TV's Marriage Boot Camp, earlier this year, so it's quite possible they were considered for that show also before contractual issues got in the way. (In their place, there are more Bachelor alumni undergoing the boot camp: original Bachelorette Trista Rehn and her husband Ryan Sutter.)

Galavis and Ferrell began taping earlier this week. And hey, even as dubious as reality TV relationship counseling often appears, the move represents more publicity effort than most Bachelor couples appear to put into their relationships post-show.
